Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr Colour Poems

Bleeding-out the heart like xylem sap,
oozing from the bark of autumn trees;
inertia, negotiating crooked grooves,
in depressed, sardonic spiral;
...

Bleeding-out its xylem sap,
phloem oozing from the heart,
of the thick barked wetwood-
negotiating crooked grooves
...

Somewhere between emerald 'n topaz is a world of aqua
Coral 'n rocks that glisten 'neath sea, reflecting off waves
Inspiring an aural seascape, that Romance hasn't long seen
Since the storied theories an' legends that buried Atlantis
...
